Blueberry Pear Smoothie Recipe

I’m sipping on this feel good pick-me-up blueberry pear smoothie as I type. This makes a great breakfast smoothie because it gives me a nice jolt of energy. With a 10-month old baby that still wakes up a couple times a night, I’ll take all the energy I can get! This blueberry pear smoothie also packs alot of protein so it keeps my energy levels up. Super healthy, easy (with 4 ingredients) and so tasty!
We down the most smoothies in winter because fruit is much more reasonable in the freezer isle and we otherwise would not consume nearly as much fruit in the cold months. Smoothies also help us feel better about our”eat healthier” new year’s resolutions ;).

Hi Natasha,
Could this smoothie be made ahead? For example the night before, then I can grab it out of my fridge on my way to work?

Hi Marisa! For maximum nutrition and taste I think it’s best fresh but yes, that should be fine.
Can’t wait to try this. Do I peel the pear? Loved, loved, loved the blueberry-mango smoothie.
Hi Nancy, I did not peel it. I gave it a good wash and then quartered and seeded it. I hope this helps!
I made this last night & we thoroughly enjoyed it. The pear gave it such a different taste. Looking forward to trying the blueberry/mango recipe.
Yay! That’s so great, Nancy! I’m glad you loved this recipe!
I Googled ‘pear smoothie recipe’ because I had several ripe pears in my fruit bowl that I needed to use today. So delighted that I found this recipe. It was so good. My 3 year old asked for seconds!
I’m happy to hear that, Liane. Thank you for sharing this great review with us!
I love this recipe. I make this smoothie every day.
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review!
There are four versions of blueberries: highbush, lowbush, hybrid half-high, and rabbiteye.
Thank you for sharing that!
I left out the honey and used mixed berries, and coconut yogurt. It turned out great! Not exactly the same recipe, but yours was a great base to start from. I was worried the pear would be gritty. It was smooth and delicious! Thank you!
Great to hear that you enjoyed it, Corrine. Thanks for sharing that with us!
What do you think of adding a scoop or two of vanilla protein powder? I am definitely going to make the smoothies – they sound delicious!
Hi Ellen! That should work! You may need to add more liquid. I hope you love this recipe. We look forward to your feedback if you experiment.
Well, I did it I added two scoops of vanilla protein powder. I thought about adding more liquid, but I didn’t, and the consistency came out great, not too thick for our paper straws, but thick enough to be luscious. I chopped the pears first because I don’t have an extra powerful blender. Thanks so much for a lovely recipe!
That’s so awesome!! Thank you for the wonderful feedback! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe.
Hi Nathasha can we use raspberries instead of blueberries in this recipe
Hi Anjum, that should work great! I hope you love this recipe.
I tried it with raspberries it was so good . Thank you Natasha
Hi Anjum, thank you for that amazing review. I’m so glad you liked this recipe.
So good! I used vanilla Activia for the yogurt because that’s all I had in the fridge. Thumbs up from my husband and son as well.
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review!
What would be a good dairy free substitute for the yogurt?
Hi Angelia, you might try almond milk or coconut milk. This velvety blueberry smoothie recipe might be more appealing to you.
I tried it – pretty awesome. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so happy you liked this! Thank you for the great review!
I didn’t think I really liked blueberries until I tried this recipe. Very delicious. This is one of my new favorite fruit smoothies.
That’s so great Lumumba! It sounds like you have a new favorite! Thanks for the great review! 🙂
Tastes very good, I made it today, it is really easy to make. Thank you Natasha.
I’m glad you enjoy the recipe Nina! Thanks for sharing 😀
Looks delicious! Did you find that with the Vitamix you were able to minimize that gritty texture from the pears?
Thank you 😃. There is absolutely no grittiness and very smooth texture. Give it a try.
This sounds lovely! Will be on the lookout for organic pears and blueberries. Still hoping for a high-powered blender that can make a smoothie like this truly smooth. 🙂 One of these days….
I hope you can get one soon :). It makes all the difference in how enjoyable smoothies are. We consume way more fruit and vegetables when we upgraded from our standard blender.
I agree with you about that much needed jolt of energy. Nathaniel still wakes up at night, so I feel like I’m always tired. Lol.
I love how simple your recipes are but are so delicious. Great ingredients don’t need too much help – at least that’s what I always say. I like that you added Greek yogurt; it makes smoothies extra creamy. I’ve never tried a blueberry and pear combination, but it sounds delicious. I’ll have to give it a try soon.
How many times a night is your little guy waking up? Baby D gets up 1-2 times still and broken sleep is exhausting. But I have to remember it’s temporary. I agree, good ingredients don’t need much help and that’s why I love smoothies – no cooking required and they are so good for you! 🙂
Nathaniel still wakes up at least 2 times each night:(. He has slept through the night twice last month, so maybe I’ll start getting more sleep soon?
She hasn’t slept through the night even once but hopefully as she gets older, she will. Hopefully! 🙂
I love pear one of my favorite fruits. Somehow never thought that I can make smoothie from them.
Thank you for an idea.. Definitely will make it soon
They do blend really easily. I hope you love the smoothie! 🙂
This smoothie looks incredible! I’ve never tried a combination of blueberries and pears but I bet it tastes fantastic! Pinned and Yummed!
Thank you so much Tania! That’s so awesome of you to share and I really appreciate it. The blueberries and pears are so nice together. I hope you love the smoothie! 🙂
Looks great. You wouldn’t believe how often we make smoothies. Blueberry is always a fav. I will have to try it with pears.
Thanks Greg, I hope you’ll love it. Blueberries and pears go so well together 😀.
I adore blueberries, except for those microscopic seeds that seem to find their way between my teeth.
Ok, I sound like such an old lady!
Love this smoothie, Natasha. I’m going to make it for my baby this w/end.
Ha ha that’s like me and chia seeds although I still can’t resist eating them :). I don’t really recall having the blueberry seed issue using my Blendtec blender. It pulverizes everything! 🙂 Thank you so much Coco. I hope you love the smoothie!
